12 Pairs of Metallic Ankle Boots You Can Actually Wear IRL

Metallic boots are trending hard right now—and not for nothing. The footwear movement is straightforward and chic but also packs a major punch; after all, nothing makes a statement quite like a splash of reflective gold or silver on your tootsies.

The problem with the trend, of course, is that it kind of comes across as more street style bait, less real-girl friendly. But it turns out that there are high-impact metallic boots out there that you can totally wear in real life. A bit subtler, these guys still achieve what some of the more out-there versions do (i.e., that pow moment) but also look normal enough to pass in the office, at the coffee shop, or on a date.
